As far as I can tell it's just a shell script; does it really need installation instructions, and if so can they not be more generic than "brew install"? Speaking for myself I have NO clue what that is.

It is just a shell script yes, and a man page to make things a bit more discoverable for "git help feature-branch".

The brew command comes from homebrew, a popular OSX package manager. My platform of choice.

Perhaps I can get support for an easy install for your platform. Do you think a Makefile that installs to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/man would fit, or are you on windows?

You might want to at least add "these instructions are for people using macs". Otherwise it seems like you assume everyone is using macs, and nothing else exists in the world as far as you are concerned.

When I said "more generic" I meant "it's just *one* shell script; put it somewhere on your $PATH". That should be sufficient for something like this (at the risk of going a bit off-topic for the list).

Ouch.  That hurt.
